Since the early 80's millions of good paying American jobs have been shipped to China, India, and many other countries with the full blessing of the last 4 Presidents, now everyone is wondering why the unemployment rate is so high, and who do they want to blame? Obama! Yup...makes sense to me!🙄🙄🙄

Just get rid of all machinery on farms. That way the entire population has to work on farms again, and unemployment is gone!

The US didn't ship farming jobs to Asia. We shipped sweatshop jobs over there; jobs that machines could do, but desperate people will do cheaper.

We shipped IN the farmers from Mexico.

Hah! That's true. They shipped the over-the-phone jobs to India. Isn't that expensive - to route the call to Asia and back just to avoid paying an American?

Intel apparently shipped computer science research facilities to China. Hmm.

it's a hell of a lot cheaper to have call centers in india rather than any western country... you just can't understand a world they're saying.

At that rate, the US will start shipping farmers to Canada.

During the same period, we have constantly been told that we must pursue energy independence, but have hamstrung our energy producers. When are we going to drill for the oil and natural gas in the US? When are we going to allow new refineries to be built? When are we going to use nuclear, and stop persecuting the coal industry?

Most of the jobs exported, are jobs that probably weren't going to continue in the US anyway.

Oh come on.....surely you don't really believe that crap!!

There are several factors to jobs being shipped elsewhere.
You have steel, oil and chemical refineries moving elsewhere to avoid EPA hassles and lower the costs of production.
You have call centers, payroll production, payables distributions, and tax calculations farmed because of cheaper costs.
You have many industries moving so they don't have to deal with the unions.
You have still more industries going mechanized because machines don't call in sick, don't want vacations, don't get pregnant and are not unionized.

Obama is getting blamed because he crawled into bed with the unions and promised them something he can't deliver.

Royal Oak has to be the spelling capital of Michigan. Down here in Madison Heights we just throw the letters together and hope.

The posts in this forum don't serve any other point except to act as vehicles by which we may improve our spelling and grammar.

You're in Madison Heights? You're only minutes away from me. What a horrifying thought.
